My highschool AP classes used homework as a way to ensure everyone could get an A no matter how badly they failed the test.
Not to worry! They're against AP classes and standardized tests as well:
Harrison Bergeron was written as a satire of reactionary concerns. Now, it sounds like freedom.
So my kids have to suffer mediocre education because little Jamal's parents were too busy being in prison to read to him before bed? Isn't it bad enough that he's eventually going to shoot my son and rape my daughter?
I know multiple people who failed multiple AP classes but still passed the AP exams, receiving college credit.
My friend had double physics credits for college because he passed the AP test but failed the class, so he used the test to take physics 201 at a community college for high school credit. The AP Physics teacher was a land whale bitch that didn't know physics.
I took and passed an AP exam cold when the school didn't even offer the class. Kids passing the tests and failing the classes probably says something bad about the classes (specifically the teachers)
